Yes FBI looking into to it.

parmnion 26-05-2020 04:31 PM

Absolutely no excuse for that.

Cherie 26-05-2020 04:35 PM

Felt sick watching that poor man, it was a forgery crime as well not exactly high level

AnnieK 26-05-2020 04:43 PM

Surely no one can defend this? Poor man.....feel for the witnesses too.

Shocking, sickening but just too common :sad:

armand.kay 26-05-2020 05:40 PM

caprimint 26-05-2020 05:40 PM

Tony Montana 26-05-2020 05:51 PM

Never underestimate LT's ability to attempt to sweep acts of racially charged killings under the table.

Denver 26-05-2020 08:42 PM

You could see how much joy the officer got from his death

The Slim Reaper 26-05-2020 09:05 PM

Kneeling is disrespectful to the flag

And never underestimate your ability to fill the bottom of a bargain bucket in the pound shop with your nasty and personal posts.

Luckily people have books that dont sell to cover them up.

Black kills white racially motivated
White kills black racially motivated
Black kills black racially motivated
White kill white racially motivated

Some times in life colour has nothing to do with it and sometimes it has everything to do with it.

Don’t spend your life being nothing but a colour.

Only one of those scenarios regularly results in people going free.

And any decent human being knows that is wrong but if the black man had the gun and white man had the spear would the world be any different now or would the roles just be reversed.

More Tibb trial by tweet
or video

Sigh

Marsh. 26-05-2020 10:22 PM

Yes, the fact it's in a tweet immediately nullifies the fact that an officer knelt on the neck of an unarmed man and didn't even let go when the man lost consciousness... and died.

But, yes, TWITTER!!!! :rant:

Glenn. 26-05-2020 10:27 PM

Is anyone surprised? This is America.

In this case though the black man appears to have nothing and the white man has knelt on his neck until he was dead......so not quite sure what your hypothetical scenario has to do with this? As thought provoking as it was obviously.

Yes it a disgusting thing to do, I’m merely posing the question thought that had history been the other way round would racism see a black cop doing this to a white man.

What relevance does that have?

Are you trying to rationalise racism?

It has no relevance I’m just thinking out loud

And no I’m not trying to rationalise racism.

The simple yes and no

Does racism exist, yes
Am I racist, no
